Hand #12 - [Removed:14]

Kido Pham has the button in Seat 1. Michael Mizrachi, Tom Hanlon and [Removed:14] all limp into the pot. Pham thinks for about 30 seconds, then elects to call as well. Brandon Moran completes the small blind and Peter Jetten checks his option. We are six to the flop!

The flop is {3-Spades} {Q-Clubs} {2-Spades}. Since there's no such thing as a ragged flop in pot-limit Omaha, we have to imagine that flop hit someone. [Removed:14] is the first to take a stab at it, betting 125,000 when the action reaches him. That's enough to scare everyone else off. Ship it to Harroch.

Hand #11 - Kido Pham

[Removed:14] has the button in Seat 9. Michael Mizrachi and Billy Argyros limp in, as well as Kido Pham from the small blind. Brandon Moran checks his option.

Flop: {2-Diamonds} {3-Clubs} {8-Hearts}. Pham is first to act, and he bets out 80,000. Moran folds, Mizrachi calls, and Argyros folds.

Turn: {Q-Clubs}. Pham checks this time, and the Grinder checks behind him.

River: {J-Clubs}. Kido Pham leads out again, betting 225,000. That's enough to get The Grinder to fold, and Pham picks up a nice little pot.

Ten Hands In

Michael Mizrachi has clearly come ready throw his stack around and mix things up today in a bid to win his first bracelet. The rest of the table seems to be feeling each other out.

The Milwaukee's Best Light No-Limit Lounge is full of spectators, but they have been pretty quiet so far. There is a little bit of scattered applause when a player wins a pot, but for the most part the crowd is passively, quietly watching the proceedings. A spectator did recently tell Peter Jetten, "If you play as good as you look, you'll win."

We've already had one admonition against flash photography -- an admonition that is repeated in the Amazon Room at least ten times a day.

Greg Hurst Eliminated in 9th Place ($80,581)

Hand No. 8 -

Greg Hurst has the button in Seat 6. Michael Mizrachi is the first player in the pot, raising to 75,000. Hurst calls from the button. The two players are heads up to the flop after the blinds fold.

It's a well-connected flop of {7-Clubs} {6-Hearts} {3-Hearts}. Mizrachi, as first to act, bets 80,000. Hurst, dressed in PokerStars apparel, thoughtfully considers his options and settles on a raise. Mizrachi quickly moves all in behind him and just as quickly, Hurst calls. Here we go again!

Mizrachi: {A-Clubs} {K-Hearts} {5-Hearts} {4-Clubs}
Hurst: {A-Diamonds} {A-Spades} {9-Clubs} {8-Hearts}

Hurst is in really bad shape, as Mizrachi has flopped the straight and has a redraw to the second nut flush. Hurst has an overpair and an up-and-down straight draw, but two of those outs complete Mizrachi's flush. The turn {3-Clubs} makes a second flush draw for Mizrachi, further reducing the number of the cards in the deck that could save Hurst's tournament. The river bricked out {6-Diamonds}, eliminating Greg Hurst. He will collect $80,581 for making this final table, the only player not to collect a six-figure payday.

Hand #4 - Kido Pham

Brandon Moran has the button in Seat 2. Greg Hurst opens the pot to 60,000. Action folds to Kido Pham, who reraises pot, a total of 216,000. That induces a fold from everyone else, including Greg Hurst. Pham wins the pot.
